Chapter 807
Waverly realized that her tone was quite harsh, thus she gently coaxed, "I wasn't blaming you, I was just worried. I know you don't like Charmine, but now that Charmine and Anthony have slept together, and if she conceived Anthony's child, Charmine will-"
"She won't, don't worry. I've made a mistake, but it won't repeat. I'll make Charmine leave Anthony soon!" Max's tone was full of anger and hatred.
Waverly halted. "Brother, don't wear yourself out," she reminded him with her gentle voice. "Don’t hurt yourself. It’s their matter, and honestly, we don't-"
"I know what to do. You do your doctor thing, just treat your patient. I’ll work the rest out for you." With that said, Max hung up.
His eyes fell on the window, unusually dark.
Max had no power within Burlington ever since Charmine took his Jordown Group. All usable lands were bought for the Hundred Birds Project. At this rate, Charmine would only progress, and Waverly’s relationship with Anthony would go nowhere...
As if thinking of something, he took out his phone and called someone. 1
"Have you been looking for a job lately? I’ve things for you to do, with a ten million bucks reward on it."
'Ten million bucks? Really!?"
The woman sounded extremely delighted on the other end of the call as if she had not heard such a huge amount for a long time. 1
Max smirked. "Yes, I'll pay you a million deposit first. If you succeed, the remaining nine million will be transferred to you instantly."
"Okay!”
Meanwhile, in the villa...
After Waverly had left, Charmine's eyelids fluttered as if something bad was about to happen.
Seeing that she was standing in front of the door, Anthony sat up and asked, ‘What? Did you fight? If you really don't like her, we can-"
"No, it's nothing..." Charmine snapped out from her thoughts and rubbed her eyes. "I'm just tired from last night. Wake up-hurry. Waverly is waiting for you at the Bailey Mansion," she spoke as she found him an outfit set and handed it to him.
Anthony took up the steel plate by the side. "Please help me put this on, my lady."
Charmine had no choice but to walk over.
While it was soft steel, it was very thick like the fingernails and looked rather heavy. Since Anthony had worn it often, the steel plate left an obvious red-line bruise.
"Don't wear this," replied Charmine, "I trust you." 1
'Trust me. I'll keep my distance from other women for you. Furthermore, it's not just because of you." His body had always refused the touch of another woman. Whenever a woman got close to him, he would instinctively want to make the woman go away. 1
Without this steel plate, he might push Waverly away by instinct should she get close to him. 1
